Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a method for monitoring a detachable fiber-optic connection, especially in a fiber-optic transmission device or system, comprising the steps of transmitting a wanted optical transmission signal carrying information data to be transmitted to at least one fiber-optic connection, a predetermined portion of the power of said optical transmission signal being reflected at the at least one fiber-optic connection depending on the status and properties of the at least one fiber-optic connection, creating a detection signal by detecting said reflected predetermined portion of the power of said optical transmission signal, monitoring and evaluating the detection signal as a function of time and creating a "DETECT" signal if the detection signal or a signal derived from the detection signal reveals a characteristic change in its course in time. Further, the invention relates to a corresponding device adapted to realize this method.
